Fig 4. Jmjd1a- and GLP/G9a complex-mediated expression tuning is not extended to other genes on the Y chromosome.
(A) E11.5 XY gonads of the indicated genotypes were dissected and subjected to mRNA expression analysis. We examined the expression levels of Sry-neighboring genes (Uty, Ddx3y, Usp9y, and Zfy2), which are located on the short arm of the Y chromosome. There was no significant difference in the expression levels of these genes between control and mutant gonads. mRNA expression levels in the adult testis (3 months) were defined as 1. All data are presented as mean ± SD. (B) ChIP-qPCR analyses for H3K9me2 at the Uty, Ddx3y, Usp9y, and Zfy2 loci. Primer locations are shown at the top. There was no significant difference of the H3K9me2 levels between control and mutant gonads. All data are presented as mean ± SD.
